A pooled host pool contains 20 session hosts with Max sessions per host set to 10. During peak, 65 users are connected. The scaling plan’s capacity threshold is 60% and the minimum percentage of hosts is 20%. Assuming autoscale breadth-first behavior, how many session hosts will autoscale keep powered on during this period?

With 65 users and a maximum of 10 sessions per host, 7 hosts are needed to accommodate all users (65 users / 10 sessions/host = 6.5, rounded up to 7 hosts). The capacity threshold is 60%, meaning hosts should be powered on until their utilization is at or below 60%. To achieve this, more hosts are needed than the minimum required. If 7 hosts are powered on, they would be at 93% capacity (65 users / 7 hosts = 9.28 sessions/host; 9.28/10 = 93%). To get below 60% capacity, you need 11 hosts (65 users / 11 hosts = 5.9 sessions/host; 5.9/10 = 59%). 9 hosts would still be at 72% capacity, and 13 hosts would be more than necessary.
